Zeiss ZE 50mm f/2 Makro Planar

[Sheiky]

I"m not sure what why?? But the original is tack sharp.

Me neither, I've never had this softness after export...but I trust you on your word and other examples []

I think this one in particular because of the macro capabilities.

Hmm yea I guess so, but still...for that amount of money you could have a Sigma 50mm 1.4 with AF and probably pretty much comparable photos at f2 and with the extra money you are close to buying a dedicated Canon 100mm macro which does go to 1:1 and als has AF and is great for other things than macro as well...


I guess it's a matter of putting up priorities and needs/interests. I must say that I really like to get the best for the less if you know what I mean and therefor the Zeiss lenses are not on my wishing list.

Your definitely right on the HDR...but I was going for the over-saturated look just a bit!!

I could see why, however I think the foreground/background realism difference is quite there. While your foreground is still acceptable realistic, your background is truly unrealistic. I do like the B&W though and if it were up to me, the contrast may have been even bigger(lighter foreground and shadows), but I like it already this way []

Thanks for looking,

Thanks for your open mind,
